How many miles or kilometers has people driven their megasquirt equipped car?
What kinds of problems was encountered, is the automobile somewhat stock or heavily modified?
What's been done to the engine?
How was it converted?
Was it hard ?
Is it running flex fuel,gasoline,propane or dual fuels?
What's the fuel use ?
A sort of a poll.

Re: A sort of a poll.
i have covered about 35,000 miles in my e30 running megasquirt 3 has not let me down once. it is basically a stock engine but runs sequential fuel and ignition. used everyday, no dual fuel or flex petrol only. its smother and more responsive than stock with slightly better economy.

Re: A sort of a poll.
My first megasquirted car was a 1986 Bronco II 4X4, it wouldn't pass smog testing with the stock ECU. After the megasquirt I drove it somewhere between 50-75K miles across country (Houston, TX to Canada and back many times) quite often with my young children in the car. Only once did the MS cause an issue, the MAP signal hose popped off the sensor, quickly fixed (and later zip tied). It was otherwise stock. I've also driven several other megasquirted cars up to 1000 miles a day on our National Interstate Highway system, I would not hesitate to drive on any competent install. I'm just now getting miles with flex fuel so I can't report much other than it works flawlessly.

Re: A sort of a poll.
Guesstimated 50k km on a '90 VW Caravelle Syncro 2.1 112i. Basically stock everything except the AFM has been replaced with a Bosch HFM5 MAF out of an Alfa Romeo 156 TwinSpark, and I added a TPS instead of the idle/WOT switch VW Digijet uses. Sequential fuel, dizzy ignition. Much better mileage, never left me stranded. Assembled the v3 board myself.
Largest difficulty was the splicing of the MS harness to the VW harness, for the next conversion I'll get all new connectors and only use the MS harness except where absolutely necessary.

That's interesting and fun to read!

92 VW Corrado, 97 2.0L 8V engine with a small F/I cam and one-off mid runner intake manifold, BW EFR 6258 turbo and WMI, D585 CNPs full sequential and Deka 60 injectors run by an MS3-Pro. I did a complete rewire in the engine bay adding a 94 Camaro underhood fuse and relay box. I have put nearly 30,000 miles on the car in 32 months and the only issue I have ever seen is a blown 5Vref fuse (my fault). 30MPG city 35MPG highway.
